History of National Comfy Day
While National Comfy Day may seem like an occasion where you are simply supposed to get comfortable, the history behind it is more intriguing than it may appear. The day was founded by The Comfy Bros, the team behind ‘The Comfy’. For those who may not know, this is one of the world’s first wearable blankets that have become a hit. ‘The Comfy’ was invented in 2017 by Michael and Brian Speciale. “How?” you ask.
The story is simple yet super sweet at the same time. One chilly day, Michael woke up to see his nephew on the couch with a sherpa blanket behind him. His arms and knees on the other hand were pulled into an old sweatshirt. This is when the duo began brainstorming on ways they could make an outfit that was a comfortable mixture of a blanket and a shirt. and voila, ‘The Comfy’ was created.
Of course, it took a lot of experimentation and prototypes to finally formulate a design and texture that was wearable. However, once the idea became a reality, the partners set out to make their dream a hit for the masses. The first step they took was to audition to be on “Shark Tank” in Denver. It wasn’t long before their comfy outfit became a hit and they were spotted advertising their wearable blanket to clients. They finally closed a deal with Barbara Corcoran, and ‘The Comfy’ went on to become a super famous product. Today, the product is available in over 100 countries.
